定義	Defining Fine Art
原始時代の洞窟壁画（ラスコーの壁画など）は呪術的な目的で描かれ、人間、牛の姿を巧みに捉え、日常的な実用性を離れた表現となっており、美術史の始めのページを飾るものである。	The primitive cave paintings of Lascaux seemed to be created for a supernatural purpose. Primitive human beings were able to skillfully capture shapes and images resembling cows. Using everyday tools in this way was a significant departure from their practical use. These were the first documented pieces in art history.
美術は多く宗教とともに発達してきたが、近代以降は宗教から独立した一分野を形づくるようになり、個性の表現としても捉えられるようになってきている。	Art has developed alongside many religions. Today, a sense of independence from religion has shaped individual expression.
美術は芸術の一分野である。	Fine art is one area of the arts.
芸術とは、表現者あるいは表現物と、鑑賞者とが相互に作用し合うことなどで、精神的・感覚的な変動を得ようとする活動である。	Art is defined by an artist's self-expression, someone who deeply senses emotions and appreciates how they change.
とりわけ表現者側の活動として捉えられる側面が強く、その場合、表現者が鑑賞者に働きかけるためにとった手段、媒体、対象などの作品やその過程を芸術と呼ぶ。	Above all, a person uses that self-expression to engage viewers and capture their imagination. How this is composed and what process is used is art.
表現者が鑑賞者に伝えようとする内容は、信念、思想、感覚、感情など様々である。	An artist is someone who appreciates and tries to communicate, the subject matter's content, beliefs, ideas, feelings, and different emotions.
